I remember quite a few times that some special tire, chassis, battery, or whatever was out of my reach but I'm glad to say atleast in 12th mod most competitive kits, tires, batteries and motors are available to decent drivers to have a chance to do good without "special/secret" stuff...lol

I guess the present "wars" are mostly in the stock/spec class

lol

Good point. Fast stuff seems to be pretty accessible.

Now if I could only find that $750+ ESC power cap that someone was running! And I thought ECS's were pricey
